MY Cyclone dive boat review
MY Cyclone: the earlier twenty-guest boat
This archive covers the older MY Cyclone, not the newer Cyclone Explorer. The specialist listing for the earlier boat remains unavailable when checked on 2 November 2026.
Tornado Marine Fleet now markets Cyclone Explorer as a steel explorer yacht with a listed build year of 2025. The old Cyclone photographs, ten-cabin layout and visitor reviews below must not be transferred to that vessel.
Remembering the original Cyclone
The earlier Divezone review described ten cabins for twenty guests, a spacious dive platform and a salon where the group could relax between dives. It recorded a 2009 renovation; this is a detail from that earlier account, not a statement about Cyclone Explorer.
The original review’s appeal lay in the shared spaces: an indoor lounge with entertainment facilities, a shaded sun deck for conversations in the evening, a top deck for sunshine and a jacuzzi. Its dive-deck description included freshwater showers, a toilet, a camera table and rinse tanks, together with charging or equipment facilities.
Meals mixed local and international dishes, with vegetarian and halal requirements arranged in advance. The earlier facility list included nitrox, motorised tenders, USB internet sticks and a water dispenser. Those details belong to the boat and period reviewed here.
Looking for Cyclone Explorer instead?
The operator’s current description is materially different. It also contains inconsistent accommodation totals, so obtain the current deck plan and assigned cabin directly. This archive cannot resolve those figures by reusing the older boat’s layout.
View the operator’s Cyclone Explorer page and confirm the vessel, departure and complete fare before booking.
Questions about the two names
Are these visitor reviews for Cyclone Explorer?
They belong to this earlier Cyclone page. A newer boat should be assessed using its own dated reviews, photographs and specifications.
Does the old ten-cabin layout apply to the newer boat?
No. Do not use the older layout to select a room on Cyclone Explorer; request its current deck plan.
Is the original Cyclone permanently retired?
The checked specialist listing is unavailable, but that does not by itself prove permanent retirement. No current dated sailing for the older vessel was verified.
